This volume presents a unique, research-based approach to treating the prevalent, distressing, yet highly treatable problem of separation anxiety. Separation anxiety is a distressing problem that affects children and adolescents of all ages, yet until now few specific treatments were available. This indispensable book presents a readily accessible, research-based approach to understanding the unique challenges of separation anxiety and giving children and parents the skills they need to overcome it.
Reviews and Endorsements
Incorporating the proven concepts and methods of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), the authors' program is grounded in decades of hands-on clinical experience. Written in a lucid, down-to-earth style, this is a state-of-the-art guide for clinicians seeking to provide the best possible care to children, adolescents, and their families. The volume begins with a cogent exploration of the nature of separation anxiety, distinguishing
it from school refusal behavior and from typical separation-related fears. The authors then outline their comprehensive treatment model and provide step-by-step guidelines
for managing the entire process of therapy, from intake and assessment through coping skills training, CBT interventions, relapse prevention, and booster sessions. Five comprehensive case examples illustrate the complexities of intervening with 3- to 17-year-olds across multiple situations (day and night) and settings (home, extracurricular, school, and camp). Also provided are essential insights on building strong relationships with kids and their parents and dealing with different parenting styles, family stress, comorbid problems, developmental constraints, and other therapeutic challenges. The book is designed for maximum utility for clinicians from any background, including those with
limited CBT experience. Invaluable reproducibles include the newly developed Separation Anxiety Assessment Scales, which facilitate individualized case formulation and treatment planning. Authoritative, highly practical, and rich with clinical wisdom, this book fills a key need for clinic- and school-based mental health practitioners working with children and families. An informative resource for students, it is an ideal supplemental text for
graduate-level courses.
